A regional community has met for a vigil for three young siblings killed in a shed fire in southwest Victoria.

Four children were playing together in the rear shed of a Corio property near Geelong on Sunday morning when it caught alight.

Three-year-old Saige McGregor and 18-month-old Ashlynn McGregor died at the scene.
